“Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon” by Daniel C. Dennett

Magick Matters

"For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why—and how—it has shaped so many lives so strongly.

This universal fallacy is the root of all human misery and suffering. It is the aim of this work to prove that no such being as an “I” or “you” exists.
